COOKING THURSDAY ~ CHICKEN PARMESAN SLIDER BAKE ~ BLOG 365.127C

CHICKEN PARMESAN SLIDER BAKE – serves 6

12 pack KING’S Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken or 1 1/2 pounds prepared frozen chicken tenders**SEE NOTE
3/4 cup FRESH Marinara sauce
8 ounce FRESH grated Mozzarella or Provolone slices

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Line a 9 x 9 or 9 x 13 baking pan with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.
  • Use a long serrated knife to slice the Hawaiian rolls in half, lengthwise, so you have a slab of rolls. Don’t pull the rolls apart or individually slice them because you want the rolls to be completely connected.
  • Place the roll bottoms side in the prepared pan.
  • 
Layer the shredded rotisserie chicken or prepared chicken tenders over the rolls.
  • Place marinara sauce over all of the chicken. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese or a layer of provolone slices.

GARLIC BUTTER
1/2 cup butter
3 garlic cloves, minced or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon FRESH minced parsley
2 Tablespoons FRESH chopped basil
1/2-1 teaspoon crushed red pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons FRESHLY grated Parmesan Cheese

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter.
  • Add the minced garlic, basil, parsley, red pepper flakes and Parmesan cheese.
  • Evenly brush the butter mixture all over the roll tops.

  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake covered for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.
  • Uncover and bake for 3 to 5 minutes more.
  • Serve hot!

NOTE:

  • The 2 different types of chicken make for entirely different textures, but both are really good!
  • Definitely a knife and fork sandwich.
  • Slightly freezing the mozzarella ball before grating makes it easier to to shred.
